As an example. for a couple of years I worked in a call-center environment in cable television -- in Wilkes-Barre, PA -- an older socially-conservative community. I thought I was hired exclusively to address technical issues, but the trouble began when pressure to upsell (including so-called "adult" entertainment") was imposed upon all employees, and drew protests from older Catholics and Protestants alike. This is an example of moral and similar issues which should have remained private, but were imposed upon all employees-- in the name of senseless "consumerism".

This ^^^ is one of the most restrictive work environments. You're literally hired to work off a script.

But not every job is like that - not even every corporate job.

Just because you're not a good fit for a particular job isn't a sign of society's decay.

Certainly I'm willing to adapt -- if the potential conflicting points are addressed and resolved in advance.

Ok...what's the problem? I still have no idea what the point of this thread is.

If the job changes like that, quit and find something else. Either adapt to the job, approach your boss and ask your duties to be changed, or quit. I don't get where your moral outrage is coming from.
